While this painting was originally a plan for an etching, I believe it turned out better than I'd hoped, so I thought it was worth completing.
The brush strokes reminded me of tall Venetian buildings, so I kept the details to that style, and while this does not tie in with fantasy so much, it was good practice for detailing and is one of the more abstract pieces I have painted with architecture as a subject matter. While the 'Venetian' style does not scream fantasy, fantasy architecture has its base in these cultural elements and the little nuisences which you find in specific types of architecture.
